The Super Mario RPG remake clears up a pixel pile from the original release ❤️
Where’s that post about how these games actually looked on our old tvs vs how they look in emulators/on HD screens when you need it… honestly, just squint your eyes and you’ll see that “pixel pile” render how it was meant to be seen.
Isn’t that post about how if you take the exact same sets of pixels, designed to be viewed on CRTs, and put them on modern LED/LCD, they won’t look as good, because they were intended to have the blur of the CRT? This complete re-rendering is acknowledging that just porting the original to modern displays would look bad (and applying gaussian blur to simulate the original intended appearance would get people screaming about how lazy it is.)
(also, my complete lack of familiarity with the subject matter means that I cannot, actually, squint at the old one until I see…well…anything, even with the new image as reference 😅)
It was about how the scanlines filled out/smoothed out the pixels and completed the image, was very blatantly obvious with the castlevania examples.
Also I shouldn’t say just squint, cuz everybody’s eyes are gonna behave differently.
Right, it was about how a direct port of the original graphics to modern displays doesn’t work. So they couldn’t ~get away~ with a direct port with a New Game Price, even if they applied a filter to simulate a CRT
Titanic: Project 401 allows you explore a jaw-droppingly authentic recreation of the RMS Titanic, from first class all the way down to the engine rooms.
I say this with affection: the Honor & Glory guys are absolutely fucking insane. They’re going on? Eight years of work now? With the eventual end goal of recreating every inch of Titanic in painstaking historic detail. There used to be an actual game planned for the environment as well but I think at this point it’s 100% about the ship.
Godspeed, you lunatics. Hopefully my computer will be able to handle the end product.
